Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: | lenticular,gray sandstone |
Includes fossils? | Y |
Lithology description: a succession of lenticular bodies showing two main facies: 1) clayey sands rich in frequently pyritised lignite, together with amber; 2) grey clayey sands with less lignite (1 to 12 % of the sediment), with continental vertebrate fauna. These facies, the rarity of mollusc shells and charophytes, probably due to decarbonatation and the presence of pyrrhotite (FeS4), reflect a hypoxic environment. | |
Environment: | fine channel fill |
Geology comments: Strata deposited at bottom of two channels cutting into underlying Thanetian marine green sands. The channels prograde toward the northeast and were discovered under Oise River Quaternary deposits. |
